My Grandpa was going through some of his books and found this old copy of Gregg Shorthand Dictionary, which my Grandma R. had when she went to secretary school. It's so much fun to look through. And it's crazy how it looks like another language, one that seems to now be lost with the advancement of technology.
But still, it's really cool looking at each word, and what seems to be random scribbles aren't. There's patterns. It's just amazing how a system like this was ever created and used. And it's sad that it's fading away. I feel like I own a piece of history. A representation of years pass, and the processes we no longer need to follow.
